Even if you manage to find an office with an existing tenant, their lease could be approaching expiration, and without plans to renew, it can take an incredibly long time to secure a new tenant for the space.

Luckily for me the state of Florida has state level protection which bars municipalities from passing new or amending their existing laws.That said, I am seeing cities like City of Saint Pete crack down and are enforcing their laws for the first time in years.  

Don't get me wrong, these types exist, but they don't last LOL. 

Problem is it doesn’t exist as a “public” offering.  

The more affordable price points, combined with a steady rental market, provide some peace of mind.

Also, nightly stays should be adjusted based on your specific pricing strategy as well (e.g. longer stays further out, shorter as dates get closer or gaps exist).

It may be best to partner with someone that has done one before or somehow is a local expert on lot splits.If you can add a bathroom into existing space on high cost property it can add a lot of value.  

Similarly, looking up deeds of trust, licenses, or other public loan documents, as is often recommended here, will only confirm that the company exists - not that you are speaking to a legitimate representative.

You have to have an "existing relationship" if you are or you are working with non-accredited and sophisticated investors. 

Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.
